Full load amps is the maximum rated amps that the motor should draw according to its nameplate rating. Running load amps is the actual amperage the motor is drawing at that point in time when the test is taken. Some motor loads vary depending on if the load is cyclic. The reading on this type of motor would be from no load amps to full load amps.

Full load amps (FLA) refer to the maximum current a motor draws under full load condition, while running load amps (RLA) refer to the current a motor draws while running under operating conditions. RLA is typically lower than FLA since motors are often not running at full load.

What is Full Load Amps?

FLA is the nameplate amperage rating of the motor when it is running at its designed horsepower and on the motors designed voltage. 746 watts = 1 HP. The FLA of a 1 HP motor at 240 volts would be W = amps x volts, Amps = Watts/Voltage. 746/240 = 3.1 amps full load. Overload the motor and the amps go higher, motor running at no load amps are lower than FLA

What is the difference between Full load Amps and Service Factor Amps on an electric motor?

Full load amps is the amperage at which the motor was designed to work at to achieve its rated horsepower. Service factor amps is the amount of a periodic overload at which a motor can operate without overload or damage. Continuous operation within the service factor amps will shorten the insulation and motor bearing life of the motor as the motor will be operating at a higher temperature than it was designed to.

A 220 volt motor is rated at 4.0 amps is that 4.0 amps per leg or 2.0 amps per each leg?

The Full Load Amps, FLA is a rating for each winding of the motor. In this case the motor actually needs 4 amps running through it. As current needs to go somewhere (perferably not to ground) the 4 amps will circulate on you 2 Hots, the neutral isn't needed. 4A in, 4A out.

What is the difference in wiring a 12 3 phase motor at low voltage between run and start?

You have to wire both the run and start windings. The start windings will automatically be removed from the circuit once the motor is at 75% of normal speed. The start winding gives you more torque to start the motor.
